We are informed that during the altercation among the Ladies at Bath some secrets were discovered by the contending parties that are likely to be attended with disagreeable consequences, especially with respect to one Lady, who was positively charged with a faux pas previous to her marriage, which the husband thinks of so seriously that if the matter is not soon cleared to his satisfaction a separation is resolved on. It is added that some of the Ladies lost their temper so greatly as to descend to mere Billingsgate language, such as to call their antagonists t---s and w---s.
